Prince Harry Sues British Newspaper Over Pictures With Princess Eugenie; Lawsuit Comes Weeks After Meghan Markle's Privacy Case Win

Prince Harry has filed a libel suit in the High Court against the Daily Mail's publisher, only weeks after his wife won a privacy fight.

The Duke of Sussex filed a claim against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) on Wednesday afternoon, according to court documents. The accusation is said to be related to a piece in The Mail On Sunday on Sunday, February 20 titled "Revealed: How Harry sought to keep his court dispute over bodyguards secret," which discussed difficulties connected to his family's security.

Prince Harry Files Lawsuit Against Same British Newspaper

Prince Harry, 37, is also embroiled in a legal battle with the UK's Home Office over his security measures when in the country. He has filed a High Court appeal to the Home Office's refusal to allow him to pay for his and his family's police protection while in the UK. The prince has stated that he would like to bring his son Archie and infant daughter Lilibet to visit from the United States, but his attorneys have stated that he and his family are "unable to return to his home" because it is too hazardous.

It comes following a security breach in London in the summer of 2021 when his car was pursued by paparazzi photographers as he exited a charity event. Meghan Markle previously won a privacy lawsuit against ANL for publications that included excerpts from a "personal and confidential" handwritten letter to her divorced father, Thomas Markle, Independent reported.

At a restaurant in Santa Barbara, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen with Harry's cousin and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. The photos show the two couples arriving and seated at a table in what looks to be an outside eating area with see-through plastic screens.

The princess, the younger of Prince Andrew's two children, is the first royal visitor to the Sussexes in California since the pair retired from royal responsibilities in March 2020. Eugenie's continued presence on the West Coast a week after the Super Bowl game in Los Angeles indicates an extended stay. Meghan and Harry may have even seen August, Meghan's one-year-old son, who turned one on February 9.

The restaurant images were taken against the backdrop of Prince Harry's lawsuit against the British government for reducing his police security while in his homeland.

Prince Harry's legal lawyer has stated that returning to the United Kingdom without Metropolitan Police protection would be dangerous for the couple and their children, Archie and Lilibet. An incident in June 2021, when Harry was trailed by paparazzi after leaving a WellChild charity event in London, is at the heart of the accusation, as per Newsweek via MSN.

Queen Elizabeth Could Strip Off Prince Harry From Key Role

Because he does not currently reside in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry may be disqualified to step in for the Queen if she becomes disabled or is away, according to a new parliamentary briefing paper.

The Duke of Sussex should be disqualified under the residence criteria; however, Prince Andrew would be permitted to do so despite being deprived of his HRH designation due to his suspected association with Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2020, Prince Harry went to the United States and has been publicly critical of the Royal Family in interviews with the American press. He has opted to leave the royal life and now lives in California, stating in a shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey that he needs to break the cycle for the sake of his children and raise them away from the spotlight.

Following the publication of instructions by the House of Commons Library, it was discovered that Prince Harry has had royal titles stripped and may be disqualified to act as a Counselor of State in the absence of the Queen.

There have been requests for Buckingham Palace to make it clear who may stand-in for the Queen, especially since the 95-year-old queen has been ill recently.

She was the latest royal to contract Covid; but due to her moderate symptoms, she was able to talk with Boris Johnson on the phone during their weekly call. With Prince Harry opting out and Prince Andrew entangled in a controversy, Prince Edward and Princess Anne have been suggested as possible replacements for the Queen, according to Express.
